FAQs
Acyuta is a well-known epithet of Viṣṇu, meaning “the infallible one,” indicating the deity who never falls from His essential nature or sovereignty.
It portrays the Supreme as consciousness itself (jñāna-svarūpa), infinite, unborn, imperishable, indestructible, ever-pure, all-pervading, and supremely great.
By focusing on the divine qualities—purity, permanence, and all-pervasion—the verse guides the devotee toward steady devotion and trust in an unchanging, sustaining Supreme.
